Walking with Leslie

When I started my hard core journey to weight loss a year ago, I started slowly with my workouts.  I got some of Leslie Sansone's walk at home videos and started using them.  I would do either the 2 or 3 mile walks at that time (and the 1 mile if I was particularly tired).  I remember the first time I put in her 4 fast miles video.  I was still very out of shape and thought I might die.  I didn't do that one again for a while and when I did, I still walked during the "boosted walking" segment.  Now, as a person that is in pretty good shape, I LOVE Leslie's 4 fast mile DVD.

I love working out to exercise DVDs.  It just fits my lifestyle.  I can work out while my son is playing or after I put him to bed.  I always fall back on Leslie's 4 fast miles for a straight cardio workout.  My shoulder has been hurting from some of my other workouts so I am going to take a break from the strength (particularly arm/chest/shoulder) and this week I will be doing Leslie's 10 day challenge with the 4 fast miles.  I enjoy her banter (even when I have heard it hundreds of times!) I also like the music in her videos, it helps me keep that pep in my step and puts a smile on my face.  Maybe she can help me boost through my plateau again, like she has in the past!


*** update:  I just read on Leslie's blog that Leslie has (starting today) a special challenge.  I think I will consider myself an advanced walker, so, my challenge will be 5 miles every day for 21 days (for the month of sept.) apparently weekends are freebie days.  I am going to take Leslie's Challenge!  Why not?
